A federal court in New Jersey affirmed the Federal Trade Commission’s contention that it can sue companies on data breaches. The ruling is a major victory for the FTC and could set the stage for more lawsuits. Wyndham Worldwide Corp. challenged a 2012 FTC lawsuit in connection with a data breach that exposed hundreds of thousands of credit and debit cards and resulted in more than $10.6 million in fraud losses. Experts saw the case as a landmark test of the agency’s authority to enforce data security standards.”]
